Joshua Van vs Alexandre Pantoja

This was a classic. This is the standard for a UFC Undisputed Title fight. Pantoja is a different level of tough and determined. He was successful with his grappling early and dictated the start of the fight. But his game plan stayed the same and his pace went down as the fight continued. Van adapted to the fight Pantoja brought for that day and changed as the fight went on growing in confidence and eventually overtaking the fight and really hitting a nice flow. Pantoja just kept coming forward always dangerous but never affective. Big statement from Joshua Van showing he’s staying here for awhile and could enter some very rare status.
